    We should add 60 mL (option E)

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Initial volume = 40 mL = 0.040 L

    Initial molarity = 9.0 M

    New molarity = 6.0 M

    Step 2:

    C1*V1 = C2*V2

    ⇒with C1 = the initial molarity = 9.0 M

    ⇒ with V1 = the initial volume = 0.040 L

    ⇒ with C2 = the new molarity = 6.0 M

    ⇒ with V2 = the new volume

    9.0 * 0.040 = 6.0 * V2

    V2 = 0.06 L = 60 mL

    We should add 60 mL (option E)
